Chapter 79: Farm work

At the edge of the weir pond, Li Fan picked a tomato casually and pondered it in his heart as he ate it.

It will be the release date of "Fun Children" in two days.

This issue of "Fun Children" is still the same as the previous issue. "Shuker and Beta" and the comic "Cat and Mouse" each account for half of the pages.

Li Fan's manuscript had already been sent to Tang Quan. These things don't need him to worry about.

Soon, he finished a tomato. Chatting, feeling uncomfortable, I picked another tomato and put it in my mouth to eat.

The leaves of the vegetables in other places curled downwards slightly under the long-term sun exposure, making them look a little listless. Only Li Fan's vegetable field still looks lush and lush.

"Hey, there is a cheat device in hand, it's really a little different." Li Fan was very happy.

"Wha, what are you doing squatting there?"

Li Fan was happy, and suddenly heard his mother's voice.

He hurriedly turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound, and saw that his mother was coming from the weir pond with a back of green grass on his back.

"Oh, mom, you're back. I'm cutting rabbit grass again."

Now my mother still cuts the grass every other day. The little bunnies in the family have grown up a lot. Two days ago, the little girl took two of them back to feed them.

That girl feeds the two rabbits like babies. Every day when I came back from school, I would come back with a bag of rabbit grass by the side of the road.

Her mother cut the grass for her and came back to feed her. She was not happy yet, she had to get some grass and feed it back.

"Really a kid." Li Fan could only comment like this. Don't look at that girl who is usually small and big. But after all, it's still a child's character.

Li Fan took his mother's back, and mentioned that he put it down in the yard. Asked: "Mom, we can harvest our wheat, when should we harvest it?"

My mother grabbed a handful of rabbit grass and threw it on top of the rabbit cage, and then replied: "I will collect it tomorrow, there is not much, it will be collected in one day."

"Well, good. What about those late peanuts? It seems you can dig it too." Li Fan asked again.

"Don't worry about those peanuts for now. Wait for some day when it rains before digging." Mother replied.

"Oh, good." Li Fan nodded and walked out of the yard. He was going to take a stroll outside, but now there is basically no sun.

The reason why peanut digging has to wait until it rains. That's because the soil is softer after it rains. The peanut seedlings can be pulled out directly by hand, which not only saves effort, but also allows as many peanuts to be pulled out together with the peanut seedlings as much as possible. Only a small amount of peanuts will remain in the ground. Easy to pick up.

If it doesn't rain, just go digging. Because the soil is too hard, you can only use a **** to dig. It is laborious and time consuming, and it is not easy to dig clean.

Li Fan wandered around in the village and met many villagers one after another.

Some villagers have already finished their work in the field and returned home, but some villagers have just left the house with a hoe.

The villagers greeted Li Fan enthusiastically, and Li Fan responded with a smile.

He already has a general idea for farm construction, which is to lease most of the land in the village, plan and manage it in a unified way, and plant it in a unified way. Some villagers must be hired to help at that time.

"Well, go to the village chief's house another day and talk to him about this matter."

The village chief is called Li Fu, in his 50s. He was in the same generation as Li Fan's father, and Li Fan called him "Uncle Fu".

...

Early the next morning, the head of Li Fan's family went out to harvest the wheat.

Now that the villagers work, they miss the time when the sun is the most poisonous in the middle. Generally speaking, they go to work in the fields at dawn in the morning. I went home around nine o'clock in the morning. And this time I started to have breakfast.

Li Fan and the others too. It was past 6 o'clock, just after dawn, Li Fan and the others were already busy driving on the ground.

Li Fan’s family doesn’t grow much wheat, less than one acre of land. After harvesting this morning, come out again in the evening to finish the harvest.

After all, this is the south, and wheat is not the staple food. The villagers grow wheat, usually for noodles, or to feed poultry.

So not much is planted. And the special land conditions do not allow more planting. The land here is not like that in the north, where tracts of land can be operated by mechanization.

The land here is all piece by piece. The positions are still uneven, and some are still on a diagonal drape. Mechanization cannot be used, and manual labor can only be used.

However, precisely because of this. This created the beautiful rural scenery of the southern countryside.

The rural scenery of Sansheng Village is even more beautiful.

The main tool used for cutting wheat here is the sickle. Cut down one by one, and the speed is not slow.

At nine o'clock in the morning, Li Fan and his father went home with a large load of wheat each. My mother used her back to carry a full back.

Li Fan's current body is not trivial. Putting the courage of more than a hundred catties on the shoulders is simply relaxing and pleasant, and it doesn't feel much.

Of course, Mom and Dad's health is also good now. Li Fan did not secretly give them drinking space spring water.

It's a gesture to watch Dad walk with ease. Li Fan knew that Dad might not be as relaxed and happy as himself, but he was definitely light and light.

There is no need to say more about my mother.

It's no wonder that my parents often sigh recently. Since Li Fan went home, they felt that their bodies had improved a lot. The work that used to be very strenuous, now it can be done easily.

During the 10-minute journey, the family did not rest. He went straight back home in one breath.

Back home, my mother was busy making breakfast.

Li Fan and his father began to "beat" Maizi. To beat the wheat is to get the wheat off the stalks. Due to the small number, the villagers directly harvest the wheat by hand instead of using mechanization.

It is also easy and convenient to beat wheat, as long as you have enough strength.

Grab a handful of wheat stalks in your hand, and directly force the end with the wheat to fall to the ground. After repeated several times, all the wheat on a handful of wheat stalks fell to the ground.

Now, the last thing Li Fan and Dad lack is strength.

The two of you come and go, "Boom! Bang! Bang!" The voice is endless.

When my mother prepares breakfast, the wheat collected this morning has been nearly half beaten.

This speed made my mother slightly surprised.

Had breakfast. It didn't take long for Li Fan and his father to beat all the wheat.

My mother spread the wheat that had just been smashed out in the yard so that the sun could reach the wheat to the greatest extent.

...

In the evening, Li Fan's family went to the field again. Cut all the remaining wheat back.

In the next few days, the main farm work will be peanuts and corn.
